Dear All,
We
are pleased to confirm that further to the easing of Governmental lockdown
requirements and the ECB confirming practice facilities may be used, St James'
will be available to Club Members on a closely manged basis.
In
order best protect members we will be adhering to ECB Guidance on the use of
facilities. A copy of a poster showing The Rules is attached.
We MUST follow the guidance. We already know of other clubs
who have had to shut their facilities because they have been unable to ensure
compliance. Please help us to keep our facilities available.
If you or any of your household are displaying any, even mild, symptons you must not use the facilities and should follow the Governments advice.
Social
Distancing is to be maintained at all times (unless participants are members of
the same household)
Only
1-to-1 coaching/training is allowed (unless participants are members of the
same household)
It
is recommended each player use their own equipment - if anything is to be
shared pleased follow Government advice which confirms strict hand hygiene
should be observed, washing hands thoroughly before and after use (see below
about access to facilities).
2
net facilities will be available; one in the middle, one next to the pavilion
and can be used simultaneously by separate groups. Likewise there will be 2
areas of the outfield available for fielding / throwdowns etc, again on a 1 to
1 basis.
To
ensure these arrangements are not exceeded all Club Members will have to
book their chosen session via our Safeguarding Officer, Lou Etherington (contact 07720 248535 or louetheringtonpandscc@gmail.com). Please be aware, you will not be able to use the facilities without booking.
50
minute slots will be available starting on the hour from 9am. (the other 10
mins will allow for facilities to be cleaned as appropriate and allow time to
transition groups).
As
Junior Club Members will require a Club Representative to be present at the
ground, the hours available for them to book will be 9am - 8pm Monday and
Thursday and 9am to 6pm all other days. Adult Club members are considered to be
Club Representatives and are able to book sessions 9am to 8pm on any day.
Please
note given the current access arrangements at St James' everyone visiting the
ground will need to pass security on the main gate. They have asked that where
possible cars at taken to though the gate to the grounds as they want to limit
foot traffic over the site. They will be made aware of the booking times.
Therefore, please be mindful of the booking system highlighted and come to the
ground as close to your allotted time as possible. This will save issues with
security and more importantly, help ensure your safety.
While
toilet facilities and 1st Aid kit will be accessible, the kitchen, changing
rooms and communal areas of the pavilion are not to be used. Therefore please
bring any refreshments you might require with you.
Should
you have specific questions please respond to this email and we will address it
as best we can.
